Introduction to our India Group
Clifford Chance has one of the most recognised and experienced foreign legal practices specialising in India related work. We have advised Indian and foreign companies and lenders on a wide range of corporate, securities, banking, dispute resolution and other matters involving India for over half a century. We also advise a number of our Indian clients on transactions outside of India.
Chambers Asia 2008 comments:
"This pre-eminent international player has successfully built a leading reputation for Indian expertise across a wide range of practice areas, including involvement in energy and infrastructure projects. Its 'incredibly commercial, deal-making' lawyers handle a steady stream of project finance, asset finance and energy matters. The firm's extensive network of offices facilitates the provision of seamless advice to a client base of both inbound multinationals and high-profile Indian clients."
We are a multi-jurisdictional group committed to the development of our India practice in cooperation with the Indian bar and law firms. Members of our India Group are based in a number of different locations including London, Hong Kong, New York, Singapore and Dubai.
Local regulations currently do not permit us to have an office in India or to advise on Indian law. However, we have a 'best friends' relationship with one of India's leading firms, AZB. This is the first agreement of its kind in India between market leaders. AZB has particularly strong corporate, M&A, real estate and TMT practices as well as a substantial presence in the banking, capital markets, energy and infrastructure sectors. AZB has offices in Mumbai, New Delhi, Bangalore and Pune.
The key strengths of our Indian practice are its extensive experience, committed team and deep knowledge of the legal and business environment in India - a number of our senior lawyers individually have more than a decade of Indian experience and have spent long periods of time working on the ground in India.
We are frequently invited to speak at seminars in India covering a wide range of topics including Arbitration, Energy and Infrastructure, Acquisition Finance, privatisation, M&A, international bond offerings and initial public offerings.
